Today is the wonderful day where everything gets packed up and then we drive five hours home.

It wasn’t always wonderful…..

In the dark days it used to be a race to get everything into bags and stuffed into the carbefore the park rangers kicked us out. Then was the drive home, followed by unloading and washing everything.

It’s much simpler now. We can clean up at a slower pace once we get back to the homestead. We also have the facilities now to be sure that laundry doesn’t come home dirty. And dishes do not need to be re cleaned.

Even though packing up is far easier now. I still find that I drag my feet. I guess I’ll always be the kid at my core.

Well camp is broken once again. Time to get on the road and start the five hour journey home.
